The complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and maintains Haier's TVs in the US are sold without the needed patent licenses for the country.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/18/mpeg.la.sues.haier/ Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/17/haier.h7.with.android.due/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/haierh7intro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Chinese electronics maker on Wednesday Haier announced at the CommunicAsia 2009 expo in Singapore that its first cellphone using the Android operating system will ship this fall. The full touchscreen H7 will use at least version 1.5 of the open-source OS, but Haier does indicate if version 2.0 is out by the time the handset ships, it will be preloaded.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/17/haier.h7.with.android.due/ Wed, 17 Jun 2009 21:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/13/haier.ibiza.touch.and.mini/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/haieribizatouch.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Haier tonight added two more players to the Rhapsody ibiza line that both share direct parallels to Apple players. The ibiza Touch (pictured above) appears a higher-end counterpart to the ibiza Theatre that adds a sharper, 2.8-inch 400x240 touchscreen and Wi-Fi, which lets it browse the web, download podcasts and Real Rhapsody subscriptions, and tune Internet radio. It shares the Theatre's Bluet... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/13/haier.ibiza.touch.and.mini/ Wed, 14 Jan 2009 04:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/12/haier.ibiza.theatre/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/haieribizatheater.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Haier in a low-key introduction has revealed its second and third major players in the ibiza line. The ibiza Theatre is the company's first real touchscreen player and serves as a lower-cost alternative to players from Apple and Samsung; while it has a 2.4-inch, 320x240 screen and doesn't appear to include Wi-Fi, the device includes Bluetooth for wireless headphones, an FM radio tuner and a micro... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/12/haier.ibiza.theatre/ Mon, 12 Jan 2009 14:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/04/haier.ibiza.rhapsody.sport/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0812/haieribizarhapsodysport.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Haier on Thursday has quietly released the second generation of its Internet-capable portable media players. The ibiza Rhapsody Sport is ruggedized compared to the original player and has both a more easily gripped, rounded body as well as a weather-resistant covering that partly protects against rain or snow. The player continues to center on an 802.11g Wi-Fi link that lets it download podcasts... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/04/haier.ibiza.rhapsody.sport/ Thu, 04 Dec 2008 14:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/10/sandisk.buys.musicgremlin/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0806/musicgremlin.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />SanDisk today said it has bought out MusicGremlin for an undisclosed amount. The deal is meant to give the Sansa player manufacturer access to the smaller company's still rare direct-download subscription service, which allows members to download an unlimited number of songs each month to the player itself via Wi-Fi rather than first transferring them to a PC. The features will have a "key role"... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/10/sandisk.buys.musicgremlin/ Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/20/creative.zen.share.tip/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/creativezen-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Creative will finally join companies such as Apple and Microsoft in offering a wireless music player, say some reported insiders privy to the details. Purportedly named the ZEN Share, the device will use Wi-Fi for its network connection. Most details are unavailable, though the name directly points to a sharing ability likely based on that of the Zune. The Microsoft player allows users of simil... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/20/creative.zen.share.tip/ Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:05:00 GMT
